The legendary Dutch football player and manager Johan Cruijff (internationally known as Cruyff) played for Barcelona from 1973 until 1978 and managed the team from 1988 until 1996.

His son Jordi Cruijff (35), who currently plays for Valletta in the Maltese premier league, played at Camp Nou from 1992 until 1996.

Joshua Angoy Cruijff is the son of Johan Cruijff's daughter Chantal and her husband, Barcelona's former reserve goalkeeper Jesús Mariano Angoy. The 16-year-old wing defender made his debut during the last ten minutes of Barcelona's junior B team match against CE Mataró last weekend.
